I still do not like the design of the head shell.
The Axiom headshell is based on the old Orsonic headshell, where twin beams are used to better control resonance and energy from the cartridge. I have many head shells and prefer the Orsonic to most others, particularly with medium to low compliance cartridges.
Lighter arms with higher compliance cartridges have inherently less tracking distortion as they follow record irregularities better.
This is not necessarily true. If you examine the Shure white papers they identified significant tracking distortion when encountering eccentric records. A high compliance cartridge will start slewing when faced with an eccentric record ( most are ). Thats why they added the stabiliser brush to their high complinace/low tip mass design.
I have listened to the Coralstone version but not in that arm. It was a Kuzma 4Point 14. Nice cartridge but not the best tracker.
On the Kuzma 4Point - I know this arm reasonably well, have set it up with multiple cartridges. It s a very good arm, but what you need to understand is that it uses twin needlepoints for vertical motion ( similar to knife edge arms like the SME 3012, except it uses points ). On very low compliance cartridges a traditional gimbal bearing arrangement provides more control over the cartridge. This may explain the results you experienced with the Coralstone.
